Brown Sea Cucumbers ---- Aslia lefevrei

A common animal on western coasts the Brown Sea Cucumber, Aslia lefevrei, is seen here with tentacles projecting into the water column to catch passing nutrients. The tentacles are periodically curled in wards in turn and licked clean by the mouth parts - see the next picture for an illustration of this.
